Sod's Law

Ever heard of Murphy's Law, Sod's Law, or Finagle's Law of Dynamic Negatives? They're actually the same and they are telling us that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

This explains why your email will most likely crash as you try to send something important, how the chances of you spilling a drink down your clothes are highest just before a date, and why it's a safe bet that your heating will most often break down during a cold snap.

British Gas commissioned scientists to come up with a formula to predict Sod's Law. They did just that and also found out that things don't just go wrong, they do so at the most annoying moment.
